Is weighed the options in his mind and had completely determined his goal.
Beyond the Red Line lies a vital archipelago connecting the New World and the first half of the Grand Line, a crucial passage for pirates heading to Fish-Man Island and the New World.
Once this place is controlled, the connection between them will be completely severed.
We are still in the era of Rocks. The Great Pirate Era has not yet begun, and the powerful figures in the various seas are subject to significant limitations.
So everything I want to do is just a prelude, a preparation for what's to come.
Since the new era has not yet begun, in Is's view, as long as his subordinates continue to expand, there is no need to start any new era. Under the conditions of his existence, whatever he does is the most righteous act.
His men all obeyed Is's orders. Since they were preparing to retreat, they naturally did not leave any trace on the spot and all disappeared quickly.
However, the real trouble might come from finding the source of the problem later on, given all the complicated issues at hand.
As requested by Is, the group arrived at the beach. Hashirama Senju clasped his hands together in a hand seal and activated his Wood Release ninjutsu.
Previously, Wood Release was only used for offensive ninjutsu. Even though it could be used for some degree of creation, no one had ever imagined that Hashirama Senju would use Wood Release to build ships.
Chapter 230
It was only after being summoned to this world that Is's guidance of Hashirama Senju brought out the expected effect and level of skill.
Compared to Madara Uchiha's pure combat ability, Hashirama Senju was clearly superior, so Is would usually entrust any tasks that required thinking to Hashirama Senju.
As the Wood Release ninjutsu continued to entangle, a large warship appeared directly on the sea. What kind of style could match Is? Hashirama Senju knew very well.
"Every time I see something like this, I find it unbelievable. Did you, an idiot, really do this? And in such a short time!"
"What kind of strange ability is this? I've been watching for so long, but I still can't get used to it."
Misaka Mikoto scratched her head, unable to understand Hashirama Senju's actions and the effects they produced.
Misaka Mikoto and Senju Hashirama were from different planes, so they couldn't fully understand or empathize with what happened in each other's planes. This was an inevitable result.
While doing this, Is knew that something similar would definitely happen.
But Is didn't care about such things; as long as he was true to himself, there was no problem.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as you know that I've done things that none of you can do."
"So whenever there's a mission, the adults always send me out first. That's the difference between us."
After hearing Misaka Mikoto's words, Hashirama Senju didn't care about his image at all and immediately showed his arrogant side.
Normally speaking, how can you expect me to endure this? Who could easily tolerate such an outcome?
Electric sparks flew from Misaka Mikoto's body, pointing directly at Senju Hashirama; it was clear they were about to engage in a fierce battle.
But the simple killing intent had no effect at all; instead, another powerful killing intent emanated from nearby.
The one who could generate such killing intent towards Hashirama Senju was none other than Hashirama's old rival, Madara Uchiha!
When Hashirama Senju was expressing his importance, he included everyone around him, but I was standing right behind him, without considering Madara Uchiha's feelings at all.
"When did you become the strongest? Who acknowledged that? If you really want to claim the title of strongest, then show us your full power!"
Hashirama Senju's direct expression greatly displeased Madara Uchiha, as even the slightest emotion could have a significant impact.
Judging from Madara Uchiha's appearance, it was just a threat and a joke, and he didn't really intend to make a move. After all, if he really made a move, who knows what the situation would be like now?
"Alright, you two, stop bickering. This isn't the place to fight. If you really want to fight, I've already prepared a new battlefield for you!"
Is directly advised, saying that the current situation clearly demonstrates just how dire it is.
The Sabaody Archipelago is not as safe as one might imagine; danger lurks everywhere, readily apparent to anyone with a keen sense of perception. Therefore, Is is very curious about what will happen once he arrives there.
Chapter 231
"Sir, shall I be the captain this time?"
Madara Uchiha looked at Is and asked for his opinion.
These people don't even know the direction of the Sabaody Archipelago. Even if Is has a compass and nautical charts, these guys' navigation skills are really bad.
If it weren't for his privileged status as a Celestial Dragon's bodyguard, he really would have ended up somewhere he couldn't have come back.
Everything depends on their ability to discern; right now, Is really afraid to trust them.
"You're going to sail the boat? Do you even know the Sabaody Archipelago? Are you sure you can safely take us there?"
Faced with Is's questioning, Madara Uchiha maintained a cold demeanor, but still failed to provide a perfect answer.
After all, it was indeed very difficult for him to move around.
"The Sabaody Archipelago... I really don't recognize this place. Or could you give me a direction? I'm pretty good with directions, you can trust me, sir!"
Madara Uchiha spoke carefully, completely ignoring what the people around him thought.
Other summoners might not understand what Madara Uchiha was saying, but Hashirama Senju, who had grown up with him since childhood, couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha, Madara, when did your skin become so thick? You really dare to say that, how can you even say such a thing?"
Having just been threatened by Madara Uchiha, Hashirama Senju certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity to put him down, and immediately scoffed.
"What's wrong with me? Do you even know them? My sense of direction is way better than yours!"
Madara Uchiha felt most uncomfortable with Hashirama Senju's taunts, and seemed ready to retaliate at any moment.
He could tolerate what others said, but being looked down upon by his old rival was something he couldn't stand.
But fundamentally, the final task will definitely not be theirs to carry out.
As long as the two people can execute the plan in a timely manner during combat, that's enough; that's something to keep in mind.
"Let's go, let's get on the ship. Someone will guide us. The members of the escort team will act as navigators. They are all battle-hardened, so there's no need to worry about them."
Although Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha disliked each other and were always ready to spar, everyone felt reassured and boarded the ship once Is spoke.
This summoning indeed included a large number of functional guardians.
In the Red Line and Mary Geoise regions, Ys's influence is very strong, and he still has influence even under such conditions.
At this very moment, on the Sabaody Archipelago.
Roger and Whitebeard were both gathered in a small bar, toasting each other.
"Roger, Captain Rocks has made himself very clear. I need your help!"
"You should know very well what we are pursuing, so why do you think it will be easy for you to venture out on your own?"
Edward Newgate is also an ambitious person. He hasn't been known as Whitebeard for very long, and he is currently content to work within the organization and enjoy the benefits it brings.
There is still a long way to go before he can become a true Yonko, Whitebeard.
After all, Rocks was still a powerful being, and there were still many things that could be done under the circumstances.
"Hahaha, Newgate, don't you understand me? What I truly pursue isn't who is the most powerful, but rather equality. This was achievable in that former kingdom."
Chapter 232
Roger spoke with great passion, completely absorbed in the story.
Newgate looked at Roger's frantic state and really didn't know what to say.
Newgate had heard some of the legends of the Kingdom of D before, but when it came to the real thing, no one could prove that it really existed, or that there were other possibilities.
It's just a legend, and it doesn't fully express the true meaning.
However, it seems there is a significant gap now, and we need to examine the specific reasons for this gap before making any further plans.
Roger has been searching for the truth about the D Kingdom for so long, which is why he was unwilling to join the Rocks crew, believing that Rocks was a crew driven by selfish motives.
But given the current situation, it would be really troublesome if we didn't join in.
"You know how powerful the Celestial Dragon Is is. If we don't unite, the Rocks crew might be suppressed!"
Just as Roger and Whitebeard were having a long chat about their business,
suddenly!
The expressions of the two most powerful pirates changed simultaneously, and they turned their gazes to the distance!
It seemed that something terrifying was slowly approaching them from there!
"A very powerful aura! Could it be that Is and the others have caught up with us?"
Roger's expression was grave, and he had a bad feeling about it.
"With our current strength, if we were to clash with Is like this, I guarantee we would be the ones to lose!"
Even the usually unruly Whitebeard felt uneasy at this moment.
"I thought it was just my imagination. It turns out you all felt that powerful aura too."
Rayleigh couldn't help but sigh.
At that moment, the three of them couldn't help but recall some interesting anecdotes about Is.
It is said.
Surrounding this person, who is known as the strongest Celestial Dragon, are many, many terrifying beings.
Anyone who appears can possess the power to destroy the world and summon wind and rain!
Not to be underestimated!
"What do you think? Should we avoid confrontation for now?"
Roger's expression grew increasingly serious!
"That's for sure! We'll settle this score with Is when we're stronger in the future!"
Whitebeard took a big gulp of wine to bolster his courage!
The two exchanged a glance and reached a consensus at the most crucial moment!
Let's get out of the Sabaody Archipelago first!
"However, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel like there's someone watching us from the shadows."
Roger seemed to be talking to himself.
"Is there anyone else here?"
